‘A really beautiful book. Rosie’s writing makes me need to close my laptop, step outdoor, and appreciate the magic that each and every season brings’ Jessica Elliot Dennison
In her late-twenties, feeling utterly overwhelmed by the pace of up to date city life, Rosie Steer found solace in the traditions she had been brought up with, influenced by her Scottish roots, that celebrated nature and observed the small steady shifts in the seasons.
The Celtic Wheel of the year is an ancient seasonal cycle that aligns with solar events – the solstices, equinoxes and their midpoints. For each and every mini-season, Rosie shares nature notes for what we will look out for as the days get warmer or cooler, the nights longer or shorter, alongside activities, things to make, flowers or fruit to forage, seasonal recipes to enjoy and a up to date take at the traditional celebrations.
As the Wheel turns towards Samhain on 31st October, we will look ahead to foraging apples and berries to make Hedgerow jelly, watching the leaves turn golden, collecting pine cones for a Pine cone garland and celebrating pumpkin season with Pumpkin and root veg chilli and Chocolate cake with pumpkin curd.
By slowing down and taking note of the ebbs and flows of nature, we will find moments of calm each time we need them.
